Automation of end-to-end QOSImprove end user experience for unified communications and collaboration with Software -defined Networking (SDN)

Today’s UC&C Challenges

Network issues cause 60% to 80% of poor end-user QoE

Legacy Networks have poor visibility into real-time traffic• Lync uses encryption by default, making DPI difficult and unreliable

• Skype tries to hide itself from networks

Traffic engineering & QoS is complex…easily broken• Requires brute force static policies that must match application server settings

• Intermittent problems are tedious to diagnose, especially for Softphones and BYOD

“Quality of user experience is only as good as the quality of the network”

Legacy Traffic Engineering Slows Application Delivery

UC / Application Admin

Time in Weeks

Ongoing Monitoring &

Troubleshooting

Identify traffic

classes

Configure UDP ACLs on

Switches

Inventory WAN circuit

What Codecs?

Remark DSCP for untrusted applications?

Lock down UDP port ranges used

for voice/video

Identify sites

Define Erlang traffic

models

Provision CAC across

sites

Validate SLAs

Ok, ready to start rolling out

Enable DSCP…on all

endpoints

… Deploy across Campus & Branch Sites

Network Admin

SDN will reduce cost of deploying QoS, Traffic Engineering and Security for UC
